Robert Blackmon and Ken Welch participate in a forum of St. Pete Mayoral candidates. September 2021. Screen capture from online forum.

This is the first open contest mayoral race in St. Petersburg since 2008. Candidates Ken Welch and Robert Blackmon are now in a battleground election after neither received over 50% of votes in the August run-off. Several City Council races are on the ballot as well. Statewide, voter registration has concluded but early voting will continue in Pinellas until 7:00 PM tonight. Polling locations will be open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM tomorrow for registered voters. Deputy Supervisor of Elections, Dustin Chase, explains how people can still vote without going to a polling place. “Voters can still come to one of our three offices, request a mail ballot, they can even vote the mail ballot in our office, and return it to us right there in the office. All mail ballots though must be received by 7:00 PM on election day.” Go to votepinellas.com for more election information and sample ballots. Voters can also visit Vote411.org for in-depth breakdowns of seven charter amendments and one tax exemption measure on ballots.
